The first few months really are tough. Even though you love your baby, you want your old life back. I was so there at first. I think the first thing I did everyday when my husband came home (while on Maternity leave) was hand him the baby and go out for a walk. It's not crazy to mourn your old life, but this too shall pass. Right now find another Mom who is around and is as bored silly as you. It's what kept me sane those first few month. As the baby get's older you will be able to get out more..

How about fabric books and books for the bath. Bath toys.

The Center for Health Communication at AED, on behalf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has launched a compelling video documentary via the Internet’s community video sharing site, YouTube, featuring parents of children who have tragically died as a result of influenza.

This is a viral marketing campaign and the more hits the site gets - the more likely it is to get featured on the YouTube homepage. Please help us make it a success and take a moment to access the video then share it with everyone you know.

If you don’t think influenza is serious and weren’t planning to get yourself or your loved ones vaccinated, this short piece may change your mind.

The documentary is available online at http://www.youtube.com/user/cdcflu
